For anything under 2500, I'd be avoiding korean and GM for sure.

Does your kid like cars? Or are you just trying to find something good on gas and reliable?

Just buy him a Golf IV
>1.6L 16v 105 bhp for an indestructible - but somewhat slow and thirsty engine.
>1.9tdi with whtaever bhp for a pretty strong and extremely fuel efficient engine. Might require some general diesel maintainance tho.

Honestly, there is no better car for a beginer than the Mk IV Golf.

>>17246353
The latter

>>17246334
Why is that?

>>17246396
those old accents are deathboxes. do u want ur kid to die in a hyundai?

>>17246406
Preferably not. How about the Chevy then?

Check mpg on both cars and pick the one with the better mpg.

>>17246426
Looks like Hyundai is better mpg, but Chevy is safer...?

If you think your son isn't a safe driver go with the chevy. Also check the average repair on each car if they break down. That's considered a running cost.

How about the mk 3 Golf ?
It's less luxurious but also much lighter.
Also the engines are basically the same.

If the Hyundai Accent GL is manual go with it. Since it's a 02 it is probably cheaper to repair. Also very good on gas. I have a 2010 Accent GLS and it gets 30mpg in the city. Only bad things are it is very light and Hyundai dealerships are full of scam artists from the salespeople to the service technicians so never take it to the Hyundai dealership unless you have to.

Old GM car VATS system were prone to failure, would leave you locked out of your car until the security lock out system went off. (Replacing my key cylinder before I sell my Firebird)

get him a 1996 honda civic hatch d16z6 and let him choose the bodykit of his liking for spare money

what this guy said the anti theft system loves to go back primarily the ignition starter switch likes to burn out triggering the anti theft on startup which cuts power to the fuel pump and requires you to wait 10 minutes before you can start it again.

Another issue with anything GM is the lower intake manifold gaskets, which are known to fail and clog the cooling system and eventually destroy the engine if not dealt with soon enough. Felpro makes an aftermarket solution that fixes all the issues

struts are also known to go bad just like with an impala and also fuel lines and rust and fuel pumps

Just get a chevy cavalier in decent condition.

Just buy him a civic buddy
